lord roberts of llandudno: Her Majesty's Government how many asylum seekers were deported on reaching the age of 18 in (1) 2014, (2) 2015, and (3) 2016.

baroness williams of trafford: The number of enforced returns by age is published in table rt_03 (returns data tables) in ‘Immigration Statistics, January - March 2017’, (attached) and is also available from the Home Office website at:https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/615158/returns2-jan-mar-2017-tables.odsThe term 'deportations' refers to a legal definition of a specific set of returns. Deportations are a specific subset of returns which are enforced either following a criminal conviction or when it is judged that a person’s removal from the UK is conducive to the public good. The deportation order prohibits the person returning to the UK until such time as it may be revoked. Published information on those deported is not separately available. As such, the question has been interpreted as referring to enforced returns. In an enforced return, it has been established that a person has breached UK immigration laws and / or has no valid leave to remain in the UK. They have declined to leave voluntarily and the Home Office enforces their departure from the UK.YearTotal enforced removalsUnder  14 14-15 16-1718-20200421,4251,4481232741,722200520,8081,3611732781,643200619,3721,0491111981,365200717,77078668951,041200817,23968476911,060200915,25258453841,013201014,8542962630991201115,0631409311,138201214,6471831723855201313,3111601215795201412,62776214601201512,1118266701201610,8722610610Notes:Data from Q1 2015 are provisional figures.

lord mendelsohn: Her Majesty's Government what marketing and promotion is planned to raise awareness among (1) small businesses, and (2) the general public, of their digital service for publishing company reports established under the Reporting on Payment Practices and Performance Regulations 2017 No 395.

There will be further communications in late 2018 once all businesses in scope have begun publishing information, which may include working with specific sector publications to raise awareness where necessary.

lord morris of aberavon: Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to examine the operation of section 42 of the Armed Forces Act 2006.

earl howe: The Service Justice System is kept under regular review and is subject to Parliamentary scrutiny every five years when the Armed Forces Act 2006 is renewed. The last such renewal was in 2016 and, during the passage of the Armed Forces Act, key aspects of the system were scrutinised and debated in both Houses and no significant changes to the system were made. The provisions of the Act will next need to be renewed in 2021 and we are already beginning to think about how best to use that opportunity to look at key aspects of the Service Justice System to ensure it continues to meet the needs of our Armed Forces
